Used Greeting Cards

Why not use your used greet-
ing cards and Christmas cards
for a needy mission project this
vear?

This year, rather than throw-
ing your cards away, why not
send them to Mrs. Brown? Only
eternity will record the soul-
winning results of this ‘“‘small”
project.

Concert Series Begins
The first of a series of con-
certs to be performed on the
Thunderbird Adventist Acad-
emy lawn came on the rainy
weekend of October 23. With
the decision to move the band
to the new unfinished chapel
complex came the fulfilled an-
ticipation of several weeks.
Music department chairman
Francis Cossentine introduced
this first program in the new
building as the audience sat
cross-legged on the thick blue
carpet. Pews are scheduled to
arrive for the official opening
of the chapel this month.
After only six weeks, 42 mem-
bers of the TAA band under
the baton of instructor Robert
Anderson performed a full hour
concert of sacred numbers with
narration by mathematics in-
structor Kenneth Albertsen.

One-day Cooking Class Draws Local Interest
“Man’s concern about diet be-
gan 6,000 years ago when God
said, ‘Thou shalt not eat,” and
Satan said, “Go ahead and
yn
eat’.
With these words by Pastor
Gerald Schulze to a capacity
crowd, the Reno Seventh-day
Adventist Church began a one-
night cooking class devoted to
the preparation of entrees.
The cooking school, under the
direction of Janet Curry, re-
ceived publicity after a phone
conversation Pastor Schulze
had with Betty Malmgren,
Family Living Section Editor
of the Reno Gazette Journal.
She showed an interest in the
Seventh-day Adventist diet and
was enthusiastic when she
heard of the forthcoming cook-
Ing class.
A week and a half prior to
the cooking school, Mrs. Curry
and her daughter, Brenda, were
featured in a half-page inter-
view story concerning the Ad-
ventist philosophy on diet and
health, plus the benefits [rom
this dietary lifestyle.

PACIFIC UNION COLLEGE TO PLANT CEDARS OF LEBANON
The famed cedars of Lebanon of Bible times are about
to take root at Pacific Union College. A seedling plant of
the trees made famous during the time of King Solomon has
been brought to the college by Lloyd Eighme, professor
of biology. Solomon, king of Israel, cut down many of the
giant trees for use in constructing the temple in Jerusalem.
Others continued to cut the trees until today there are only
a few cedars left in native Lebanon.
Mrs. Curry shared with read-
ers two of her favorite recipes,
one for cottage cheese loaf and
the other for granola. The time
and place of the cooking class
were also announced.
As a result of the publicity,
the phones began ringing and
reservations began to pour in.
Soon almost 80 persons were
packed into the Camlu Apart-
ment lounge, where the cook-
ing class was held.
Those assisting Mrs. Curry
were Tomi Cheatham, Charlene
Walker, Frances Horning, Dar-
rel Strait, Arrah Curry, and
Pastor Schulze.
Besides the demonstrations,
pre-session samples of various
entree dishes prepared by many
of the Reno church members
also contributed to the response
by the mainly non-Adventist
group.
The next cooking class is
planned for January.
